A video and a article on Potty Training dogs

First we give you a great video on how to toilet train your dog and then we follow it up with a written article. While it is important to toilet train your dog please remember that puppies are like babies and you can’t force them to learn right away. Hitting them or rubbing their nose in poop will just confuse them and like a baby, hitting them can cause permanent damage or even death!. If you as the owner can’t handle this fact and can’t control your own temper then you probably should not have a dog.

If adding another member to your family is what you are thinking about, then you should also consider that this would mean someone else cleaning after it and having one more mouth to feed. And, this is especially true if you’re considering a pet.

Experts say that it is imperative to teach pets, especially puppies, proper hygiene and this should be done as early as possible. But they would also caution you to not expect too much and to remain realistic. Remember, much like babies, puppies are still in their formative years and should not be expected to have full or adequate control of their sphincter muscle. In fact, professionals point out that it’s not uncommon for puppies up to six months old to use the living room floor or rug as a “potty”. But they note that such problems can be put in the past as long as there is proper patience, love, and persistent training.

You need to point out and denote a spot where your puppy is allowed to go to the bathroom – and make it obvious to them that that’s the spot they should be using. Also take note of your puppy’s pattern and bring them to the spot soon after they are have finished eating, wakes up, drinks, or even play. Simply escort your puppy to the proper area and reinforce it as an acceptable bathroom spot if you catch your canine either peeing or pooping in an inappropriate spot.

What you need to keep is a system of proper scolding as well as rewarding for behaviors. Each time your dog goes to the right spot, compliment him or her verbally and rub their ears back and forth and after a few compliments, you may also want to consider scolding them when he or she disobeys. And, make sure that the “punishment” fits the “crime” and takes place immediately after the incident so that your pet can make the proper association.

The repetition of action is what experts would usually depend on. Taking that into account, they suggest planning meals at regular times and intervals, about three times a day. Teaching your pet to ration his or her food is another thing they might suggest and to do this, offer a large bowl of food and allow your dog to figure out how often the bowl will be replenished.

Having a pet can be one of the greatest blessings for people of any age. Pets have the potential to be the best friends their owners would ever have. They won’t leave your side when the going gets tough, and when the going is good, they provide amusement and entertainment. Many people choose to make a dog their pet of choice. And with good dog care, your canine friends can become the greatest pets the world have every known. But not all dog owners have the faintest idea of what it takes to practice good dog care.

All dogs, regardless of breed, need proper dog care. You have no business owning a dog if you have no idea about what it takes to give your dog the proper amount and level of personal care. There is only one reason for all of the neglected dogs that live in many homes around the world: selfishness. So think twice before you decide to go out partying or work on an important business project when you don’t really have to, all at the expense of good dog care.

Regardless whether you already own a dog or are planning to own one, make sure you can provide good dog care. One of the biggest things that many people do not realize about dogs or any other pets is that they take time. I will make it short and sweet – if you currently don’t have any extra time to spare, then you shouldn’t even be thinking of owning a dog for the meantime.

You have to be there for your dog and have time to do so in order to properly practice good dog care. Many breeds of dogs need owners who will spend lots of time with them and give them attention. You can not ignore your dog and expect to have a good relationship with it.

Good dog care takes much more than time. Any experienced dog owner will tell you that owning a dog can be a physical activity. You will need this in order to regularly play with your dog and give it a walk. If you are lacking in physical endurance or initiative to get fit, then maybe you will be happier raising tropical fish instead. A dog is not a pet to be owned by unfeeling robots, so you’ll have to be playful as well.

An important part of good dog care is keeping tabs on the health of your dog. Providing healthy food, taking time to let your dog run outside, making regular visits to a groomer to get haircuts and baths, and of course seeing a veterinarian are all parts of good dog care.

Good dog care can be a huge sacrifice on your part. But if you’re up to this sacrifice and willing to take the proper amount of time to give your dog the right amount of attention, you will find yourself owning a healthy and happy dog, with the personal satisfaction to boot.

While it is by no means easy to train a dog, many pet owners feel that they are up to it. If the dog is malleable and easy to train, then this experience would be worth the while for both the pet and the owner alike. But when it comes to Pit Bulls, not a few dog owners would say that they are not too agreeable to training. This is not a complete truth, though, as these dogs are stubborn yet still receptive to some form of training.

Take a Pit Bull and owner who have a good trusting relationship with one another and you’ll see a dog who is not only willing to learn, but also learns quickly. Now if the person who owns the Pit Bull has never trained an animal before, he/she can do either one of two things. They can either bite the bullet and take training matters in their own hands, or hire a trainer to do the job for their Pit Bull.

If you want to do the training yourself yet do not have any actual experience training dogs, then you want to study diligently and study thoroughly techniques used by the best trainers. The good thing about it is that most research is free – you can either borrow a book at the local library, or if you are more comfortable working online, then there are a lot of online resources to check out. If you have a dog that you feel may be a problem to train, skip the do it yourself and go straight for the trainer.

You will be best advised to remember that dog training is not an occupation that requires a license. Why, even Bill the Plumber or Tony the TV Repairman can moonlight as a dog trainer, accept clients and add that little detail onto his calling card. But before you go around thinking that you could call yourself one, the reason we mentioned this is because you would want to exercise discretion before leaving your Pit Bull in the care of just any random Joe Dog Trainer out there.

Don’t wait for the mountain to come to Mohammed – go out there yourself and do your research on dog trainers, so that you can be sure of hiring somebody who makes good on his/her promises and has the right amount of quality, and we repeat quality experience. Find out how many years the trainer has been in business of trainer other people’s dogs. And once you are confident with their experience and expertise, ask them for references, and even if you may not know these people by Adam, call them, interview them, have dinner with them, do whatever you could to wheedle out the information about the trainer and their customer experience with them.

Pit Bulls have a tendency to act on their own accord and are not the easiest dogs to train. Ask each prospective trainer about the techniques they employ when dealing with hard-to-train dogs. Remember that your dog may be cooperative with you but may cause a ruckus when left with a stranger. If your dog exhibits stubborn behavior, you’ll want to know how the trainer will handle it. You don’t want your Pit Bull threatening to sever a trainer’s arm from its socket, right?
